Few places on earth stir up passion the way that Israel does: the breathtaking beauty of its hills and valleys, the eerie stillness of the Dead Sea, the multi-coloured canyon of Makhtesh Ramon, and the ancient walls and pathways of Nazareth and Jerusalem. Israel is a beautiful country rich with history that includes a rather tumultuous past. Don't let that scare you away though—it is a far safer place now than it has been. Today it is a very tourist-friendly area that is easy to travel and explore.
